Description

In his sparse and abstract Sonnets Pingoud deviates from the orchestral poems with their richness of styles and universes. Scored for a small ensemble (single winds, French horn, strings), each of the five movements traces a simple, guileless arch. The closing movement is Webernian in its brevity (10 bars), and the work could almost be regarded as a parallel to the aphoristic period of Schönberg, Berg and Webern, even though Pingoud does not aim at a similar flash-like mode of communication.
